With each passing day many humans go about their busy-filled days without truly looking at the others around them; Without seeing into their souls or without knowing their struggles. By having that conversation, we can get to know our fellow "man" while growing in our own lives. The blank stare is replaced by a true understanding of ourselves and each other. The conversation is open. ABOUT DUNAMIS THEATRE: Dunamis Theatre is an alternative performance company with a priority to both cultivating new works and presenting published works in experimental form and or challenging in content. Our intent is to provide a theatrical experience through all genres of theatre focusing on high quality productions; to explore new ideas, provide education, and training to develop theatre artists in children and adults in Akron and the surrounding areas.
